Another Splenda Story submitted by a visitor

Splenda Chat

Coming soon... a Splenda chatroom where you discuss the benefits and drawbacks of sucralose consumption with other Splenda users.

On 9 June 2006, we received this note from C.P. of Oakland, California, concerning their use of sucralose.

"This evening, I was struck by a terrible case of gas. It's been going on for two hours and I can tell it is going to get worse. I was mystified, because I had eaten very plain, home-cooked foods today. Then I remembered the Splenda low-carb ice cream I ate at 1:30 p.m. while I was out grocery shopping.

Fortunately, I didn't eat much of it--less than half a cup. It tasted sweeter than regular ice cream, and became too cloying to finish.

Splenda ice cream seems particularly deadly. I am never touching Splenda again."

Thank you C.P. for sharing your story with our visitors.

If you have experienced any side effects, whether you are sure it is Splenda or not, be sure to speak with your physician and discuss all possibilities.
